Ultrasonic scaling procedures generates aerosol produced by ultrasonic scalers, air-water
syringes, and high-speed handpieces. Dental procedures that generate aerosol are …

Objective SARS-CoV-2 can be carried by aerosols and droplets produced during dental
procedures, particularly by the use of high-speed handpieces, air-water syringes, and …

Purpose: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has generated renewed interest in the potential
transmission of viral contaminants via ultrasonic scaler-generated aerosols. The purpose of …

Background Dental procedures often produce aerosols and spatter, which have the potential
to transmit pathogens such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The …

Background: The spatter or aerosol reduction of suction devices during ultrasonic scaling
need to be further evaluated to better mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infection for both dental …

The coronavirus disease pandemic has afforded dental professionals an opportunity to
reconsider infection control during treatment. We investigated the efficacy of combining …

Objective Healthcare agencies recommend limited use of aerosol‐generating procedures to
mitigate disease (COVID‐19) transmission. However, total dispersion patterns of aerosols …

Background The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant changes in the provision of dental
services, aimed at reducing the spread of respiratory pathogens through restrictions on …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel negative
airflow aerosol chamber in reducing aerosols and droplets during ultrasonic scaling …

Background Many instruments used in dentistry are rotary, such as handpieces, water
syringes, and ultrasonic scalers that produce aerosols. The spray created by these …
